1. FLOOR SCHEMATIC:
• Final approved drawing after the mutual agreement between the AAC Interiors Design team and the
end Customer.
• It is Plan view of the entire aircraft showing the monuments locations in different zones.

3
2. ELEVATION DRAWINGS:
• These are drawings of each zone having plan view of the zone and different sectional views showing
the overall dimensions and locations of the monuments.
• It also gives the information of the materials and vendors for the component manufacturing.
• Created by the Interior Design team at AAC.
• It is elaborated drawing of floor schematic created currently in AutoCAD.

3. SHELL MODELS FOR STRESS ANALYSIS:
• Shell is the basic structure which carries loads.
• It is assembly of panels which are honey combed structured. The material could be aluminium or
Nomex.
• Create 3D model of the monuments in Solid works. It is treated as a single inseparable assembly.
• Do the Stress analysis for the shell models.

4. Assembly creation:
• It is assembly of the shell, doors (wherever applicable), access panels (wherever applicable) & the
necessary hardware, hinges & latches.
• The drawing is the output which is required for the manufacturing and fabrication.

5. COMPONENT INSTALLATION:
• It is installation of the components to the assembly model.
• Components could be oxygen module, Snake/flex lights, reading lights, wash lights.
• The output is the drawing which gives the detailed instruction of each component installation.

5. INSTALLATION:
• It is installation of the total assembly with its components installed into the aircraft structure.
• This requires standard parts like tie-rods, fittings, insert-screw & floor attachments.
